The Future of humanity is evolving rapidly with the introduction of new innovative technologies in our lives.  Although, primarily these technologies were developed to enhance our efficiency and ease our routine tasks, conversely, they have disrupted our lives and became essential necessities for us. In this era of Internet of Things (IoT), the ever increasing demand of competitiveness and quest for perfection has raised the bars for competence level required in all walks of life. The citizens of Smart Societies of the future will have to enhance their knowledge, skills and expertise in newer dimensions of cognition which were never considered mandatory in the recent past. We are witnessing the dawn of a technological revolution in which robots will replace the ordinary workers (Industry 4.0), unimaginably fast mobile communication (5G) will connect billions of autonomous devices, and Quantum Super Computers that will perform 100 million times faster than our standard laptops. This is essentially a paradigm shift that requires non trivial forms of teaching and learning methods for preparing the millennial students of today and future-proof workers of tomorrow to succeed in the increasingly complex and digitally driven AI based Smart Societies.(in the increasingly complex and digitally driven Smart Societies).  We discuss in this paper the challenges posed and their possible solutions by positively introducing these new technologies in pedagogy, curriculum design, ICT skills and outcome based education.
